Really bad advice, established in 2004. FORUM.
advice
I'd like some good ideas for how to reveal the genders of fraternal triplets at a gender reveal party.
I've heard of the idea to have your doctor write down the gender and seal it in an envelope. Then you take the envelope to a bakery, give it to an employee, have them bake you a cake, and fill it with either blue frosting for a boy or pink for a girl. Then at the party, you and your spouse cut into the cake and discover the gender when you see the color of the frosting on the blade of the knife. I like the idea, but I don't think we'll be needing three cakes.
What are two other ideas? I thought about maybe using punch or lemonade, blueberry flavored for a boy and strawberry for a girl. I am friends with employees and two different restaurants that could help me out with that. The could put it in some kind of container that's not transparent at all and the gender could be revealed when we pour the punch or lemonade, but is that lame?
I might use the punch/lemonade idea and get two cakes, or perhaps some cupcakes, half revealing the gender of baby #1 and half revealing the gender of baby #2. WDYT? My sister's not much for cake, so is there another dessert I can use in addition to a cake? Maybe have someone go get blueberry or strawberry ice cream?
I really want to use refreshments to reveal the kids' genders. I'm not crazy about the balloon idea or the outfit idea. WDYT?
I don\'t mean for my answer to be offensive, but in all my years of reading advice and etiquette columns the consensus is that these parties are unnecessary because, frankly, nobody gives a shit what gender your babies end up being.
My advice would be to just wait until the baby shower to party.
(Rating: 1) For someone who doesn't mean for their answer to be offensive, that was extremely offensive. If you thought it was stupid for me to have one of these parties, you sure could have found a nicer way to say so. If I'm bringing three new lives into this world, I have a right to celebrate it as much as I want to. And I disagree about most people finding these parties unnecessary and not caring what gender my kids are. Even if that was the way it is, my friends and family don't feel that way and that's what I care about, not what other people think. Also, thanks to your useless answer, I'm less likely to get useful ones because people will think I've already been helped. So, thanks for nothing.
